I usually check out for a while between basketball season and late summer...so if this has been discussed before, my apologies. I picked up a schedule magnet yesterday for the upcoming season. 'Rub Some Green On It'...is that really our slogan for next season??? My first reaction was a good chuckle and then thoughts of baby poop. (I have a 11 month old so fresh on the brain)

anyone else think this is a strange slogan?

At least "It's Wide Open" can be explained/defined. I don't dislike "Rub Some Green On It," but I'm not sure I understand it.

I'll agree to that. "Rub" is not usually a verb I associate with football. If this slogan doesn't end up with our team in green helmets then I will be very dissapointed!

I'll be shocked if the helmets aren't green this coming year. There have been too many hints from the Athletic Department about this for it not to happen. (mentioned in live blog from Stephen B., green helmet with white stripe in video of RV talking about stadium, green on top of helmet in new football poster, ...)

My take is that "rub some green on it" is a UNT spin on the common phrase "rub some dirt on it".

Rub some dirt on it is defined by UrbanDictionary.com as: To suck it up or man up in any kind of situation. Definition Link

The phrase is commonly used in sports, and was popularized by a Peyton Manning MasterCard commercial seen below (the use of the phrase occurs at the :11 mark):

I think it makes sense, and the UNT Athletics graphic design people made a pretty cool logo out of it.

I hope we throw some D on our opponents by rubbing green on the back of their jersies from hits putting them on the ground.

Helmets should be green. My roommate is a manager for the team and he was told they would be green.

Appreciate it. I actually have been on the board just about daily since the K-State game, I just normally read what yall veterans have to say. May try and stop by and meet some of yall at a tailgate or something, since I plan on following Mean Green sports forever.

This is my prediction of what the new helmet will look like (but I kind of hope I'm wrong), only because this is the only actual mock up of a different helmet I've seen to date. This pic was taken out of a stadium promotional video shot around August of last year. It appears to have been in RV's office. Keep in mind that the video was shot prior to the McCarney hire. I'm not sure how much influence McCarney has or wants to have over the helmet design.

Looks a lot like the pre-Dodge helmet but with a center stripe. May also be a different shade of green. The pic is kind of dark. Here is the full video. Pay attention around the 1 minute mark.

I was at a conference with Coach Mac, RV, and the coaching staff. When I asked what to expect with our new Nike jerseys, Coach Mac replied with, "a little bit of throwback NT inspiration." Can't wait to see what Mac and the coaches have drawn up!

      Build your team

      I’ll take your starting 5 and reserves with two changes. Give me Umoja Gibson in place of Woolridge and JJ Murray over Reese* *My son would kill me for taking Reese out (he is his all-time favorite Mean Green player) but I think I have enough scoring and I can’t pass up JJ’s ability to take on the opposing team’s best scorer.

      Dept. of Education says Title IX applies to payments to athletes (NIL)

      Let’s be honest Title 9 is the dumbest ruling ever and always has been. I am all for women’s sports, I am all for schools offering scholarships for those sports if they choose to. Requiring every school to have an equal number of scholarships when football takes 85 is so beyond crazy, and this is crazier. Something meant to benefit female athletes has clearly been detrimental for men’s sports. We are not the only school who doesn’t have men’s soccer or baseball because of it, although someone has posted here before that’s not what’s stopping a baseball program from starting. We have 100x a chance of placing a player in the pros (or USMNT) in soccer and baseball yet we don’t have those programs. Truly makes no sense.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      😂 All those schools you mentioned have significantly more football accomplishments than UNT and frequent (sometimes deep) entries into NCAA tournament. It is just a bad comparison. You can expect to microwave fan support on a level with those schools from one NIT title which at best (perception wise) makes you no better than 30-20th basketball team that year with your stars and coach leaving the team before the next season. I make 4 out of 6 Saturday Football games a season. I like being outside in good weather. I don’t live in Denton and the last thing I want to do after work is drive for an hour in rush hour traffic to get to a volleyball or basketball game. I suspect the average alumni that doesn’t live in Denton or border city feels the same way. I made a home game the year they won the NIT and preceding season. The SuperPit needs work, concessions food wasn’t good with long lines to get it. I guarantee the fan experiences at the home basketball arenas of the teams you mentioned aren’t like that.

      Best UNT BBall team ever?

      I think we’re a good team that’s trending up. An at large bid is unlikely…we’d have to win all/most of our games, strong showing in the Conference Tourney, and have no surprise teams taking any auto bids. NIT is still a GREAT tournament. It doesn’t get the media hype, but it’s good basketball.
